So my wife bought some Kiwi Fruit a while ago that were
starting to get a bit soft. And we were having friends
over for dinner ... so with help from Master Bartender Dave,
we made the following Kiwi Martini Cocktail Recipe:
Muddle one Kiwi with a teaspoon of simple sugar syrup in a Martini Shaker.
Add three ounces Vodka, squeeze half a lime, and lots of ice.
Shake well and pour (including Kiwi seeds that add flavor/texture)
into optionally sugar rimmed martini glass.
Garnish with a slice of Kiwi for visual effect and have
the wife's smile for the camera! ;-)
Be sure to scroll down for the Black & White (and Ki-Lime Green) picture at the bottom.

Muddling the Kiwi in the Martini Shaker

Donna (in Martini attire) really muddles!

Properly Muddl'ed Kiwi's!

It's called a Cocktail Shaker for a reason!

We strained the Kiwi on our first batch of martinis
|
The strainer captures quite a few Kiwi seeds

Garnish Martini Glass with a Kiwi
|
And it ready to be served - sugar rim optional

Dave says not quite right - leave the Kiwi Seeds in!
|
Kiwi Cocktail is now perfect!
